======================这是分割线======================
President Obama and the First Lady have announced that their daughter Malia will attend Harvard University in the fall of 2017, taking a gap year after her high school graduation next month.
Malia, 17, is set to graduate from the prestigious Sidwell Friends School in Washington in June.
President Obama recently was asked to speak at the commencement but turned down the offer, saying instead "I'm going to be wearing dark glasses ... and I’m going to cry."
Malia, along with her parents, has visited at least a dozen colleges over the past year and a half. Both the President and First Lady earned their law degrees at Harvard Law School.
The First Lady said in September of 2015 that the family talked over Malia's college plans "every night."
It is unclear just what Malia will do in the gap year after her father leaves office and the family moves out of the White House.
President Obama told Ellen Degeneres in February that Malia is "more than ready" to "make her own way."
"She’s one of my best friends," Obama said. "It’s gonna be hard for me not to have her around all the time. But she’s ready to go. You can tell. She’s just a really smart, capable person."
译文:
玛莉亚·奥巴马即将在2017年秋季入学哈佛大学
美国总统奥巴马和他的夫人(“第一夫人”)宣布他们的女儿玛莉亚将会在2017年秋季入学哈佛大学,在下个月高中毕业典礼过后将会休整一年。
玛莉亚,17岁,即将今年六月从华盛顿州的西德威尔友谊中学毕业。
美国总统奥巴马最近被邀请去参加毕业演说,但被他婉拒了,他开玩笑似地说:“如果我去我会带墨镜。。。因为我会哭”。
玛莉亚和她的父母在过去的一年半的时间里至少参观了十几所大学。奥巴马和第一夫人都是在哈佛大学法学院攻读的法律学位。
第一夫人在2015年九月曾说过他们全家人曾“每个夜晚"都讨论玛莉亚的大学计划。
在一年的休整期间玛莉亚会有什么打算,目前还不是很清楚。在她的父亲离开办公室后,他们一家人都搬出了白宫。
美国总统奥巴马曾经在二月份和艾伦·狄珍妮(著名脱口秀主持人)说过:玛莉亚“迫不及待地准备去谋生了”。
奥巴马:“她是我最好的朋友之一”,“想到要在一段时间内没有她在我身边,对我来说有点困难。但是,她已经准备好了。可以说,她真的是一个聪明且有很强行动力的人”。
